This One Time @ Guffaw's House

Mommy: We were driving Saturday night and you were saying that I needed to take you to sleep at one of your grandparents' house. (The weeks before you had been spending Friday night at one of there houses so Daddy and I could help early on Saturday mornings with the premarital class at ROCKharbor.) You then said that one time you stayed the whole night in the penguin bed (the guest bed at Gmomo & Guffaw's home that has a penguin comforter). I asked if there have been some nights when you haven't stayed in bed. You said that you usually get out of bed and try to get "rock-a-byed." Then you said, "One time," laughing, "I brushed my teeth and then ate a lot of food. I went to bed without brushing my teeth and then got out of bed and told Gmomo. She told me to tell Guffaw in the office. So I went in and told him I needed to brush my teeth again and he made a funny face and we brushed my teeth again."

Wedgies

While quickly walking to your room to get food for a pretend picnic, you said, "Hi, I love you. Sorry, I always get wedgies."

Oct. 5

Pretending - Jesus

Mommy:

Me: "Sarah, what are you doing in there?" as you take a very long time to bring some food toys out of your bedroom.

You answer, "I'm pretending to be Jesus."

"What?" I walked back to see you putting all the food in a basket, I guess like the feeding of the 5,000. It must have multiplied and that's why it took so long. :-)

Tissues

Mommy:

While you were picking your nose I said, "Sarah use a tissue, please." You replied, "But they're hard boogers because they got old."

Hearing Problems

Mommy:

In the car driving home tonight you thought you were hearing the Disneyland fireworks. You asked if I could hear the booming. I said, "No." You explained that I couldn't hear it because my ears have freckles all over them and they can't hear as well as "normal" ears.

Shopping Fun

Mommy:  You love going shopping at grocery stores that have car carts.  They have a pretend car attached to the front of the shopping cart.

- We were shopping at Pavillions and you pointed out the car window and shouted, "I see breast pads!" Sure enough, you were pointing at the type of breast pads we have at home."

- We were shopping at Wal-mart, a store without car carts. I was trying to go quickly so I would keep moving if you stopped to touch stuff. While walking through the feminine hygiene aisle you picked up the Always panty liners and yelled to me as I kept walking, "Look, it's what you put in your underwear! They have them here." :-) Ah, yes, there were a couple people that heard and all I could do was laugh.

Why Didn't I Think of That?

Mommy: We were driving through the parking lot of the Fountain Valley Hospital and I was trying to see if I could figure out which building Grandma Melba and Papa Jack would be in for Papa Jack's radiation.  You were asking me about what I was doing and why we were driving around.  I explained what we were doing and that I just didn't know which of the buildings to go to and you said, "Where is their car?" Genius! They park in the handicap parking spaces and so that greatly increases our chance of finding their car and then knowing which building they are in.  We found their car very quickly and it was parked near the building I suspected they were in.
